Minister of Education: FG bans overseas training for Nigerian scholars<\/h4>\n

The Minister of Education, Dr. Mauruf Alausa, says the Federal Government (FG) has, henceforth, canceled foreign training for scholars.<\/p>\n

Mr. Alausa, who said this at the opening ceremony of a three-day conference organized by the British Council on Tuesday in Abuja, said that scholars would now be trained within Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The theme of the conference is \u201cBuilding Sustainable and Relevant Tertiary Institutions and Systems in Africa.\u201d.
\nThe minister said that the federal government would be spending substantial money on building a simulation lab, as well as building and developing the country\u2019s universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have just decided to cancel foreign training for scholars. The amount of money we are spending to train one scholar abroad, we could use it to train 20 people here. We will be training everybody here.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will unleash capacity in our universities. We are going to be spending more money now on research, innovation, and also on welfare, both on our academics and non-academics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The minister said that the federal government was poised to use education to empower the youths.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have just spoken about the first component of our six-pillar agenda. The second component will be focusing heavily on technical, vocational, and educational training,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that young Nigerians would be incentivized to go to technical college and acquire technical knowledge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will pay for their tuition as a second step, and as a third step, a master craftsperson, when they get their practical training, we will pay them as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe curriculum will be 80 percent practical on-the-job training and 20 percent didactic, and as they are finishing, we will also give them entrepreneurial grants, not loans,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the education budget, he said that people only looked at the money on the budget without considering what the government spends on tertiary institutions.<\/p>\n

According to him, people just look at what is budgeted for the education ministry but do not count the fact that it is also funding federal universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Dr. Richard Montgomery, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, said that with the growing African population that might hit 2.5 billion by 2050, Africa needed to build strong and sustainable tertiary institutions.<\/p>\n

Mr. Montgomery said that such institutions should be able to produce skilled and employable graduates.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica is growing; it has a hugely young population. It is going to be 2.5 billion people by 2050.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you need to harness the demographic dividend, and we need to work harder to build institutions that are sustainable and resilient.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to evolve higher education systems so that they are better able to harness talent and are better able also to produce graduate skills and knowledge, which are aligned to the growing economies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, social progress and economic prosperity rely on a healthy tertiary education system.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe transnational education partnership that we have agreed upon in Nigeria is creating more linkages between Nigerian higher education institutions and UK universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope in time that it is going to unlock more finance, more expertise, and more partnerships between UK institutions and Nigerian institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2022, we had about 750,000 overseas students who came to the UK to study in our higher education institutions, and many of them, tens of thousands of them, come from the African continent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Steve Smith, the UK Prime Minister\u2019s International Education Champion, said that the UK\u2019s international education strategy emphasized the importance of education as a tool for social and economic transformation.<\/p>\n

Mr. Smith said that it sets out the UK government\u2019s ambition to foster strong, internationally connected education systems that enable knowledge sharing, innovation, and a welcoming environment for students globally.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Africa, this has to include listening to African voices and leaders to develop respectable and equitable UK-Africa partnerships that enhance people-to-people links.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat will also support research collaborations and align educational goals with the evolving needs of society, all based on mutual respect,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
